PREFACE
Maulana Azad Educational Trust’s Y.B. Chavan College of Pharmacy an unaided religious
minority institute, was founded in 1989 by the late Chairman of Maulana Azad Educational
Trust, Dr Rafiq Zakaria and has 28 years of history as the flagship of pharmaceutical
education in the region of Marathwada. The College secured all India 24th
rank by National
Institute Ranking Framework (NIRF), MHRD Government of India, amongst all the pharmacy
Colleges and covered under section 2(f) and 12(B) of UGC, New Delhi. The College ranked in
Gold Category in AICTE-CII survey and having ISO 2001-2008 and Green Audit Certification.
Our college is permanently affiliated to Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar Marathawada University and
approved research center by Govt. of Maharashtra. The College is approved by All India Council
for technical Education (AICTE) and Pharmacy Council of India, New Delhi.
The College has achieved a lot and becomes a quality bench mark for other pharmacy
institutions, which is only because of dedicated and visionary zeal of Padmashree Mrs. Fatma
Zakaria, Chairman of Maulana Azad Educational Trust.
We have achieved many milestones and today the College symbolizes the meaning of quality
education and professional achievement. To ensure continuous development the Strategic Plan is
proposed for stepwise growth of the institution in the form of “Vision-2029” document, which is
developed based on ABCDE model and result of SWOC analysis of the college. The proposed
vision document focuses on entrepreneurship, innovations, research, international collaborations
and very strong Industrial relations to develop globally competent pharmacists. This vision
documents also include the detail action plan with implementation schedule for various major
activities for institutional development and resource mobilization.
I convey my sincere appreciation to all my colleague staff members without their support and
excellent contribution, successful implementation of this “Vision -2029” will not be possible.
Thank you.

VISION DOCUMENT- 2029
1.0 Preamble:
The college has prepared a perspective plan based on Vision 2029 proposed by the Principal in
coordination with Management, CDC/LMC and GB. The Strategic plan is based on ABCDE
model, taking into consideration the following aspects:
1. Assessment, Baseline- Where we are?
2. Components- Where we want to be?
3. Down to specifics- How we will do it?
4. Evaluate- How are we doing?
1. Assessment: The assessment was based on institutional background followed by an
environmental scan and SWOC analysis.
2. Baseline: The institutions past developments, present situation and future prospects,
taking into consideration all significant issues and capabilities as well as any gaps
were considered to set the baseline.
3. Components: The college vision-2029 and mission was set taking into
consideration the views of all stake holders, care was taken to imbibe values and
guiding principles of the founder and mentors. The College runs both undergraduate
and postgraduate programs in Pharmacy thus the program educational objectives
were prepared using major and specific goals, further due consideration has been
given to the desired graduate attributes and program outcomes.
4. Down to Specifics: Implementation is a major hurdle thus our strategic plan
elucidates the action plan, initiatives, targets, standards for performance and
specifics for performance measurement.
5. Evaluate: Periodic evaluation is mandatory to keep the plan on track so as to meet
the desired targets. Performance management tools, effective review process,
feedback mechanisms and corrective and preventive actions are necessary. An
inbuilt design system providing space for appropriate revision in plan is
incorporated.
